The Digest:
Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with bottom-club Wolves at Molineux, as 19-year-old Tom Edozie scored a stoppage-time equaliser on his Premier League debut, blowing the title race wide open. Bukayo Saka ended his 15-game goal drought to put Arsenal ahead, and Piero Hincapie doubled the lead early in the second half. But Hugo Bueno's stunning curled strike altered the momentum before Edozie's 94th-minute finish sparked bedlam. Mikel Arteta watched in disbelief as his side lost control. Arsenal now leads by five points, but Manchester City has a game in hand and still hosts the Gunners this season. Paul Merson slammed Arsenal's "slow and lazy" second-half performance, warning: "That could come back to bite them. That word bottle will be used quite a bit."
Key Points:
- The dropped points could prove decisive in the title race with City lurking.
- It fuels accusations of Arsenal lacking the mentality to close out games.
- Arsenal's cushion shrinks, while City gains a psychological advantage.
- This signals that the title race is far from over despite Arsenal's lead.
- The timing, with the City game in hand, amplifies the damage.
Arsenal's failure to hold a two-goal lead against the league's bottom side has reignited questions about their title credentials, with City now breathing down their necks.
